I'm sorry, but why the fuck? Greed is destroying this country. This was proposed TODAY. This would repeal federal protections for 85% of wetlands in the US.

I don't know how to get people to care about wildlife. Feels like everyone just turns and looks the other way.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Rural Americans are staring down a 107% spike in health insurance premiums if ACA tax credits expire. Republicans chose billionaire tax breaks over farmers, ranchers & working families.

Everyone pays the price for #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown. Tell a friend.

Support your Democratic members of Congress as they seek a permanent extension of the ACA premium tax credits and a reversal of Republicans’ Medicaid cuts! This affects many of us.
